We returned from Florida on Friday evening. I guess I had been so excited about getting away from the cold and being able to play outside with the girls, that I didn't exactly think about how hard the transitions would be for Evie. She spent most of the time crying or asking to go home.
Oh boy. I fell a bit backwards in my mental progress, at least in my mind. But we are getting there.

Rory fell sick again once we got into Fort Myers. She has been ill most of this winter, off and on with colds, thrush, etc. The last 30 minutes of the plane ride home were awful for her. I ended up nursing both of the girls on me on the plane. I can only think what the flight attendants were thinking, but I was happy I had a way to calm them and let them sleep.

I can't say I completely enjoyed the trip. The time we spent as a family in the sand, or in the water, was great. We are lucky my parents are so generous, but I know next time they offer, we will have to pass. I think we will wait to travel like this again for a couple of years.

The wedding for Sarah and Aaron was nice. It is hard for me to talk and think about it really. Chris's half brother, Ryan, was born on the same day. We also found out that Jay and Laurie are expecting their third. Part of me is jealous. I would love another baby, but I know with the issues I had with the girls, I'd like to wait until Rory is at least 2 until we start TTC. I want to enjoy these girls, I AM enjoying these girls. Each day is a new start.
